Rozenstruik vs Almeida Odds & Prediction

The main event of the evening sees Surinamese knockout artist Jairzinho Rozenstruik lock horns with Brazil’s promising heavyweight contender, Jailton Almeida. Both fighters bring knockout power and an eagerness to ascend the ranks of the heavyweight division.

Rozenstruik has proven himself as one of the division’s most dangerous strikers, with notable victories over Alistair Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, and Junior dos Santos. His fight-ending power can change the course of a bout in an instant. However, “Bigi Boy” has lost three of his past five fights heading into Saturday’s main event.

Meanwhile, Almeida has been impressing fans with his mix of power and technique. With a strong background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and an unyielding striking arsenal, Almeida has the tools to challenge any heavyweight on the roster.
